fourth place In tho League race to-day by los
Ing game which incompetent umpiring
robbed Of half its interest. Capt. Ewing's men
were delayed on the railroad. and did not reach
the grounds until half IN hour after the time
for play to begin. They had no time to prac-
tise or to recover from the fatigue OF their
journey. and 1t was not surprising that they
lost the game in the first inning. After that
they braced up and played ball in style that
would have won II it had not been for the
handicap OF three runs which Kelly's men had
gained. Joe Hornung. who went first to the bat
for the Bostons banged at the first ball pitched.
